Bismarck (CSi) The Attorney General’s Consumer Protection division sued Matt D. Lano of LaMoure, N.D., doing business as Dakota Pole Buildings Inc., for violations of the consumer fraud and contractor licensing laws. Neither Lano nor his business has ever held a contractor’s license.
The web site story says, Consumer Protection division initiated an investigation in September 2017, after receiving a complaint about Lano. Investigators learned that over the past three years, Lano had taken numerous advance payments from homeowners in Barnes, Burleigh, Stutsman and McLean counties, for the construction of pole buildings on their properties, but had not completed any of the work. The LaMoure County District Court found Lano was operating without a contractor’s license, abandoned consumer projects, diverted consumer funds and had engaged in consumer fraud, and entered a judgment against him. The District Court’s judgment includes $5,650 in civil penalties, fees and costs to the Attorney General’s Office. Several individuals also filed their own lawsuits against Lano for similar violations and obtained civil judgments against him.
The court banned Lano and his company from working as a contractor for a minimum of three years and until he has paid in full all consumers to whom he owes refunds as well as the civil penalties, and thereafter he cannot work as a contractor unless properly licensed.
Parrell Grossman, director of the Consumer Protection Division, asked homeowners to contact the LaMoure County Sheriff’s Office at 701-883-5720 with new reports of Lano’s construction fraud.
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said homeowners should make sure a contractor is properly licensed before handing over any money.

Update
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Temporary mini-roundabouts and pedestrian curb extensions in Mandan are drawing mixed reviews from drivers and pedestrians.
City engineers are collecting data this summer to determine if the changes make intersections safer and more efficient. An online survey is open until mid-August for residents to voice their opinions of the roundabouts, The Bismarck Tribune reported .
“The point is that it slows traffic but keeps it moving, and that makes it safer for pedestrians,” said city planner John Van Dyke. “It just makes the intersection overall safer for all users.”
The feedback received so far is more about the longevity of the roundabouts and possible funding sources related to their permanence, Van Dyke said. Some negative feedback involved the size of the roundabouts.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — About 170 middle school students in Bismarck have teamed up with a local conservation agency to build an outdoor learning center.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that Horizon Middle School students spent this summer building planter boxes and planting gardens of crops, flowers and cacti. The Burleigh County Soil Conservation District also planted about 200 trees.
The school received a $57,000 grant earlier this year from a refinery company for the project aimed at getting students outside year-round. The learning center is modeled after the statewide conservation program called the Eco-Ed Program, funded by the Department of Health.
Department environmental scientist Jim Collins says the goal is to have the area accessible to teachers at all grade levels, but the center will be open to the public regardless.
